How To Prepare For A Tech Job Interview

As a web developer or software engineer, you are often the person who can actually turn ideas and projects into reality for a company.

Therefore, employers look for someone who has solid technical skills in programming and coding, but, most importantly, who has an ability to solve problems. Persistence, patience and creativity are main qualities seeked in a tech person.

Big companies like Microsoft might ask you to perform some coding during the interview, so be prepared and practice beforehand.

Don't panic if you don't know a technical answer: most recruiters are more interested in how your brain works than in the actual answer.

However, not only stupendous technicals skills will help you convince the employer. Depending on the company, the recruiter will prefer someone who likes to create new things and has a ton of ideas to someone who just knows his algorithms. One good reason to research the company and the job position you're applying for, so you know what they want.

If you have experience, think of projects that were particularly interesting or innovative and that show your potential and abilities. And, last but not least, don't be afraid of saying what you are interested in. Show your passion, as this makes you different from other potential candidates.
